Approaching the Corporate World with Your Innovation, Product, or Patent
This session covers best practices for successfully pitching your product(s) to corporations – plus, learn about patents and licensing from a corporate perspective.
The core mission of most corporations is to generate superior investor returns through revenue growth. For large corporations to move the share price needle significantly requires huge increases in revenue from new products. Many corporations openly acknowledge that this level of innovation is very difficult (if not impossible) to generate internally. As a result, corporations are becoming increasingly creative in seeking out the best external innovations.The presentation will cover “the corporate inside perspective” on filtering the wheat-from-the-chaff of external innovation. The speaker will provide guidance as to how best to generate, position and pitch your innovations and new concepts to corporations, and will cover the 6 key factors to focus on that will ensure you have the inside track in corporate decision making.
